Getting burnt out looking for a job.

If you know of any jobs in the area, please leave me a message.

I am looking for receptionist type positions but I am not having any luck.

TIA. 

Re: Getting burnt out looking for a job.

  • Have you tried any staffing agencies? 

  • Yes ma'am. They want people for warehouses. Not into that at all.
  • you need to find one that does mostly office staffing.  Very few do all-around staffing.  I work in staffing and we are starting to get more office jobs the past weeks, so I think it is picking up!

  • I know how frustrating it is, I'm sorry you're going through it.  I hope something comes up soon!

    I have found some temp and part-time jobs to get me through on craigslist, I don't know if you ever go on there.

  • Yeah I have been to craigslist. Out of like 70 applications I sent in I got one call back from a lady who still had 250 more people to interview.

    I have been looking for like 4 months now.

    I hate being between jobs. 

  • Last time I was in between jobs, of course it wasn't as tough as a market then,  I set myself a daily goal. I had to submit my resume for at least one job that i was truly interested in and then I would try to set up at least 1 networking meeting. After I accomplished that I would move on to other things I wanted to do clean, watch a movie, plan our wedding, this was several years ago, and so on. You can only scour through postings so long before you get burnt out.

  • My DH just started a new job and he said they may add a receptionist to the contract. ?This is inside an office building in Irving. ?:-) ?I'll page you if it does open up so you can send your resume in and stuff. ?Agree w/ pp, do what you can each day but take a break to do other stuff and get away from the computer. ?You'll drive yourself crazy. ?Do what you can and enjoy the free time while you have it.

  • I'm going through alot of the same thing! I'd keep looking for a staffing agency. You just need to find one that's focused in your area. I have friends who have used Adecco and Frontline (maybe... not sure on the name).

  • Thanks for keeping me in mind about the receptionist position in Irving.

    My email is mrs.cutforth@yahoo.com, if you wanna send me an email.

    And I look for jobs a few days a week and I apply for stuff that sounds interesting to me and I usually set a goal of about 5-8 a day when I do look.

    I will take tomorrow off from looking because I'm having lunch with my dad and then going to Kid Rock/Lynyrd Skynyrd concert tomorrow night.

     

    Thanks ladies for all your help.
